FYI. The new GirderBridgeDevice.dll may have fixed girder 5, but broke girder 3. I have never found it advantageous to upgrade my version of girder. Girder versions 4-5 were considerably overpriced for what I needed it to do. I found an old version of the GirderBridgeDevice.dll and I have it working...

Yes.

COM + instructions.

I have attached a vbscript example that will give you an idea on how to use it .

Yes. I agree. If I remember right, I even tested this and found it to occasionally lock up., or time out, as Richard mentions went it got caught in a long SQL write operation. It is possible for a script to get called recursively or write another script later on that uses the same database silmultan...

In that context, makes a little sense.

I like were you are going with this. I have started creating a few scripts using imageMagick with the intention of creating a slideshow script that used a coverflow concept. ImageMagick is VERY powerful and there is a COM+ implementation that allows you to access almost all of of its functionality i...

I glad to see you are making some great additions and learning along the way. I will look through the code tonight and get you some answers. There was a reason I create and destroy the objDB every pass through the message handler. The reason escapes me at the moment, but a trip through the code will...

Replace Sub ShowLibrarySelectedSong in the script to this. This should work for ya. Sub ShowLibrarySelectedSong Dim SqlStr, r If GetPropertyValue ("Jukebox.Tag Type") = "title" Then SqlStr = "select * from songs where id = " _ & Right(GetPropertyValue ("Jukebox...

It was what I suspected. I added a 45 second delay to the startup batch file and all works fine. No sleep command in batch programming, though, so I had to emulate one using ping 127.0.0.1 -n 45>NUL

Exiting HB and loading it back without a reboot leaves them enabled. After a reboot they come back disabled. I just tested it. I'm running an 8 port octopus serial card. The ports do not change. All I have to do is to go into HB and enable without changing any other options to make it work after reb...

HB not saving serial devices enabled status on reboot. I have to go in and enable them on every reboot.

No. I use a task that triggers the keyboard script on Keyboard.Keyboard Key Not Equal to '#$R' (or some value it will never be). The keyboard panel is designed so the Enter key should close the panel. At this point the Keyboard buffer will contain whatever you typed previous the selecting the enter ...

Regarding So I'm thinking that one way to accomplish this would be to use multiple copies of the jukebox script and null device (I'll already have multiple winamps). Feels a little kludgy. . .I'm going to read the script a little more closely to see if it could be changed to track all the zones simu...

Three things on panel open style... - Add ability to open panel with a given style in scripts. - Add the ability to close panels using this same functionality (Script too) - Scroll background with panel objects. Currently only scrolls background. Objects are drawn after panel is completely extended....

I think this could be done using a script really easily. Use two properties. One for the entire message and one for the text shown in the siding window that changes it's position every X milliseconds . This is pretty easy to do using a circular queue. I might try and write one for you. I was looking...

Yes. The source/script is available in the HBX file. The quick and dirty.... The import function ---------------------------- * songs.cmd is called from WScript.Shell object in VBSCRIPT * songs.cmd uses a command line utility called id3.exe (not Vista compatible) to dump tags to a text file (songs.t...
